This is an interesting "casco antiguo" with loads of little streets and alleyways to explore, and lots of steps! The streets are laregly not commercially orientated so it makes for a great place just to wander about and absorb the atmosphere. Great views at odd moments from frequent "miradors".

Walked from the tourist information office in Albir to the lighthouse, a good four miles there and back. The track is concreted and fully accessible. The incline would be manageable for most walkers including children. It is carefully sign posted and there are numerous points of information in several languages. The walker is rewarded by some truly spectacular views and upon reaching the lighthouse, you can see for miles. This lighthouse was only restored within the last 10 years and they have made a fine job of it. Look out for dolphins! The lighthouse area did appear to have limited opening hours, mostly mornings, according to a sign on the gate. Recommend this beautifully scenic walk which is well worth the effort.

Love this place, the atmosphere is very international, you'll walk down the street and hear 5 languages being spoken; the place is a pure delight for every age group. The quirky narrow streets must be seen, sitting outside having a coffee watching the world go by is a must. Such a friendly place with a perfect European buzz.

The church is located in the small square which leads to the viewpoint of Mirador Cronsistas de Espana and is worth visiting just for the views. The church was closed when I visited but the square is lined with restaurants and is a pleasant spot to just sit and enjoy the ambience. Streets and alleys of the old town lead in all directions from the square. It’s quite a steep climb through the narrow cobbled streets but you can probably get a taxi.

The lighthouse (faro) is a fully restored building/museum at the top of cliff in the national park. It takes approximately 30 to 40 minutes to walk there with fantastic viewing platforms en route.
The path is paved all the way and there are toilets and parking at the bottom.
The view's at the very top are amazing, you can see for miles and there is a free telescope.
The old light house only opens 9 till 1, you can however still walk all the way to its gates even when it's closed.

Visit Playa del Albir and look at the beautiful colors on the white stones in front of blue sea and sky. Colors changes espesially at sunset.

The road leads about half the way and then it is blocked and you have to continue by foot - about 500 m. in steep climb. Then it becomes flat along the mountainside with great views to all directions - fron Penyal d'Ifac on one side to Faro Albir on the other.

A wonderful lookout area to be found in the heart of the elevated Altea Old Town. Fantastic views are on offer of the delightful Altea harbour, Albir beyond and then just after the Sierra Heladas you can comfortably see the high rise buildings that comprise the Levante area of Benidorm.
This area is also co-located to a number of bars/eateries which ooze charm and character. It really is a good way to while away an hour or so !!

Travelling on the N332 between Calpe and Altea you can’t miss this impressive wooden structure with it’s shimmering dome on a bend just outside Altea - it’s so unexpected and if you don’t stop then you’ll always wonder what you missed! There’s a car park alongside and you can walk around the Gardens and inside the church (or is it a chapel?). The grounds are very well maintained and it’s quite pleasant to take seat and enjoy some peace and quiet. The interior is ornately guilted and decorated in the Russian Orthodox style. Also in the grounds is a shop selling trinkets/religious items.
